Reimagine Ageing Interdisciplinary Research Network

Our focus is on the ideal view of ageing and how we would like to age with innovative solutions. Through research, we're challenging the perceptions, narratives and experience of ageing.

The network brings together academics, industrial partners, charities, the third sector, and local authorities to stimulate new interdisciplinary collaborations and co-create novel, imaginative responses to the global challenge of reducing inequalities in later life.

Our vision

We want to cultivate an interdisciplinary, collaborative research agenda between academics, clinicians and our local community.

Core research themes

Learn about our three core themes – aligned to Leeds City Council’s Age-Friendly Leeds Strategy – and our three cross-cutting themes.

Postgraduate research opportunities (PhD)

The Reimagine Ageing Network is offering three PhD scholarships for full-time candidates (UK only).
